In my previous blog “Milk: Soy vs. Almond vs. Rice” I declared the winner of the calories vs. sodium war to be rice milk. While at the grocery store I found a fourth contender – Coconut.
“So Delicious Unsweetened Coconut Milk Beverage” has 50 calories per cup and 15 mg sodium, which makes it the winner. But, I really don’t like its taste as much as some of the others.
I tried cooking waffles with it. Since it seems to have fewer solids, it took longer to cook the waffles in order to steam off the liquid portion.
So the new standing is:
So Delicious Unsweetened Coconut Milk Beverage: 50 Cal / 15 mg Sodium
Rice Dream Enriched Refrigerated Original: 120 Cal / 80 mg Sodium
Silk Soy Milk Plain: 100 Cal / 120 mg Sodium
Silk Pure Almond Original Almondmilk: 60 Cal / 150 mg Sodium
Blue Diamond Almond Breeze Unsweetened Original: 40 Cal/ 180 mg Sodium
Unfortunately, the one with the highest sodium is also the one I think tastes the best.
